Materials Properties Databases

Mat Web
MatWeb, the free materials information database with data on 22,154 materials including metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites. MatWeb's database is comprised mostly of data sheets and spec sheets supplied by manufacturers and distributors.
MEMS Material Properties Database
The MEMS (MicroElectroMechnical Systems) Material Properties Database includes mechanical properties, electrical properties, optical properties, and other values acquired through a literature search conducted by the MEMS Clearinghouse. This Material Properties database is useful for the design and analysis of MEMS structures and devices by practitioners, researchers and students.
